Shaq Boys Athletic Zip Shoe

I have the most difficult time finding my 7 year old son shoes. I would consider him to have a wider than normal foot. He always has something to say about the feel or fit of each one even with very higher priced name brands. It is also getting more difficult finding an easy on or Velcro shoe as his size progresses. Let me just share my excitement when my son actually Chose these himself. These are his school shoes and have held up very well considering the everyday use. When it came time to replace ,he requested these shoes again which I HAPPILY obliged. I am considering purchasing for a 3rd time in the next size up in fear they will no longer be available.

I wanted an all or mostly black pair of sneakers for my son to wear to school. I saw these during the summer & they were on clearance for $9.00 so I decided to try them out. He is suppose to wear a different pair of shoes to school everyday so they will last through out the year; however, these are his favorite shoe and he wears them at least 3-5 days during the week. I has been four months and they have held up very well and stains are easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Today I noticed the sole is starting to separate from one of the shoes; but, considering how much he wears them I am not surprised. I am going to buy a new pair this weekend; but, he has asked his father to superglue them together until then.
